pure energy, heh? i hate pure things, hihi. they feel so synthetical... raw, yes, you can give me raw any day. raw energy. so be it then. see you in space, amigo, when our dust will be pulverized into raw energy... we might even take a hike to visit the primordial egg...

true, but that's not the most adequate conclusion i hoped to end up this thread with... hehe can you imagine anything more long lasting than the universe?

Hehe, yeah i hear ya both! Scientists base their assumptions and theories on the fact that the laws of the universe were, are and will be the same for eternity. I'd sure like to witness all of this... matter of fact, witness it from the very beginning, till the very end. Not sure about cycles though... maybe a spiral?? maybe start up again as something else?

Uh-huh... pretty close to what to lyrics have to say: So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say and nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view and nothing else matters

i remember there's a quote in DDJ that says roughly: you shouldn't be a good person because it's moral to do so (or because others deem you to), but because of goodness itself. or am i mistaken?

some people can't discuss the theory in their school, so they point out simmilar theories in other schools when they want to say something of the kind. don't scare him off

that's nothing really, most teenagers go through this phase at some point the toughest part is being ready for LIFE, takes alot more courage imo, your practice led too much Qi into your head, and at some point, it should descend, yang reaching the highest peak turns into yin, it is the law of yin yang dinamics between heaven and earth. just be aware of it and let it happen when it will, because it's close. many seekers have gone through this phase... smiles L1

very interesting synthesis.

Good idea, although i think having a common ground would be insightful!

How to recognize Qi? It tingles

This shit most definately has to go to the Pit. One more vote for 'Pit this shit'.

Zeitgeist: This shit has got to go! (Amen to that)

+ 1 & Thanks! 'Tis my belief that you waited for a thread like this for a loong time, hehe. L1

OSHO-ism: Your shit won't stink when you're enlightened! Fundie #4: When shit happens, let Jesus have it all, and whipe your butt clean! Fundie #5: Shit and Satan are one and the same!

Re OP, that 'Potential' is the answer to the question that was raised. IMO

i like the idea, but the examples of the minerals and the moon forces are ridiculous, astrology and fengshui are most surely NOT about that. @Marbles, most of the old people i know of started believing in free will as teenagers, and gradually became more fatalistic as the years piled up. You my friend are quite an interesting exception! templetao wrote somewhere about 'potential', the stuff that keeps us flexible and 'rebel', daring and able to start new things. I wonder how you kept yours.

No, just you! Lonely enough? If so, be a darling and join the gang of bums..

Thanks Jonah, I will keep that in mind, and see if it also checks up for me Fate seems to have much to say...

i'm curious if this forum will stay 'clean' from: - discussions about (socially accepted) (dubious)sexual (mis)conducts (the Non threads & co) - moved to the General Discussion - proselytising - ... you could add your own.

...and I have quit! life is full of surprises, no? Thanks for the heads-up Jonah, i would've missed it! it would be interesting to know Sean Denty's current view on HT, after his experience with different masters. Do you know if he made any statement concerning this? L1

i'd hate to see you or anyone else get hurt by mistake, that's all

Talking about chefs, did you know that you can make a bomb, or a very toxic poison, using nothing more than the ingredients that you have in a kitchen? I admit however that the idea looks appealing, especially when you don't have any other alternative! But let's face it, that would be a desperate case, wouldn't it?
